A mixed bag of results ... and Chic Rugby is coming 2nd in her tipping group - still.

Who'd have thought the Canadians would tie with the Japanese?

Not Chic Rugby and hence her performance in her Facebook tipping competition isn't so hot this week. I'm 6 points behind my pal Reece, because I didn't pick a 12-all tie between the Canucks and the Cherry Blossoms. Grrr.

In other games the Samoans beat the USA for their first win of the RWC, the Georgians thrashed Namibia 30 nil and the Romanians just beat the Portuguese (picked that one - phew!).

The next match of interest will be the Poms against the Tongans. I've picked the English to win but not by much (less than 12 points). We'll see.

Not much longer now - 7 matches - til the knock-out rounds begin. Australia will most likely play England in the Quarters, unless the Tongans beat them, and then we'll play the Tongans instead!

Go Tonga!

Hmmm ... ChicRugby is doing okay, tipping-wise.

Results from last night's matches:

	WAL	42-17	CAN		Nantes
	RSA	59-7	SAM		Paris
	SCO	56-10	POR		St-Etienne
	IRE	32-17	NAM		Bordeaux

Off to Facebook to see how I went in my tipping competition, but I think I did okay.

Playing today ...

There are four matches to be played overnight Sydney-time:

WAL v - CAN in Nantes
RSA - SAM in Paris
SCO - POR in St-Etienne
IRE - NAM in Bordeaux

My Facebook tipping is doing okay so far - I tipped the scorelines (sort of) for 2 out of the 4 games played to date. Got the France v Argentina result completely wrong, but guess I'm not alone. I also thought the English wouldn't do as well as they did. Bah!

This time my mystic sources are telling me there will be some walkovers tonight. I reckon our celtic friends and the boys from the veldt will do well over their opposition.

But it's just as well I don't put money down on these tipping thingies ... one has to be far more precise. I'm such a bad gambler I'd have no money left for shoes, the hairdressers and luxury travel ;-)

And they're far more important!
